In the apocalypse, I have a flying house with unlimited upgrades.
Chapter 32 Going Back on One's Promises
"I told you to stop, can't you hear me?"
With her voice hoarse and exhausted, Su Mo raised the composite bow and struck it casually.
The arrow pierced through Xu Shuai's fingers, penetrating most of the medicine box, leaving only a small tuft of feathers sticking out.
Xu Shuai turned his head and glanced at her. His eyes were as calm as still water, revealing no emotional fluctuations, yet they made Su Mo feel uneasy.
The orderly moving operation was forcibly stopped by external forces, and the joyous atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.
"I... I saw that you were pretending not to hear me, so I had no choice but to take action to intimidate you."
Su Mo was initially a little scared and dared not meet Xu Shuai's scrutiny.
She was very confident in her archery skills, but seeing that Xu Shuai was indeed unharmed, her pink lips moved silently. After a moment's thought, she straightened her chest.
Under the blazing sunlight, the graceful figure encased in a black leather jacket displayed exceptionally clear and defined lines.
She looked up and stared, noticing the atmosphere was getting a little too tense, and added in a low, weak voice.
"Who told you to pretend you can't hear me?"
Xu Shuai grabbed the arrow's fletching and, with a soft pop, forcibly pulled the arrow that had barged into the medicine box.
Under the sunlight, the arrows, which had absorbed a large amount of medicine, developed a layer of liquid reflective film on their surface.
With a cold laugh, Xu Shuai pointed at the metal arrowhead. The power of the composite bow was self-evident.
Modern bowing techniques, modified with special torque, allow even a modern person with no physical strength to reach the level of an ancient military archer with just a little training.
If this girl's aim were even slightly off, his hand would be pinned to the cardboard box, or perhaps to another spot.
Xu Shuai put down the damaged medicine box. The world has changed, and he must adapt quickly.
When the apocalypse arrives, the forced restraint of order will be rendered largely ineffective by moral standards alone.
He raised his hand and pressed down lightly, signaling Ye Ziming beside him not to make any rash moves.
They successfully moved more than half of the three piles of medicine. In short, the initial goal had been exceeded, and there was no need to take any risks.
"Ah, how interesting. Going back on your word. You promised something, but in less than three minutes, you've already reneged on your promise. Is this your spirit of contractual obligation?"
Xu Shuai looked at them and shook his head repeatedly. Ye Ziming, standing to the side, pouted and made "tsk tsk" sounds from time to time.
The two girls seemed to have anticipated Xu Shuai's dissatisfaction, but such a direct question made them blush, pause for a moment, and unconsciously turn their eyes to the side.
"You're talking nonsense. It's clearly you who were the ones who acted immorally first. You have such a big trump card, yet you're pretending to be weak and cowardly."
"That's right, that's right. If we had known you had such good stuff, we wouldn't have let you take it first."
The two women quickly regained their momentum, glaring at Xu Shuai without backing down.
Xu Shuai spread his hands, looking at the two with a strange expression: "Funny, this isn't a game of Dou Dizhu. Are you trying to make sure everyone knows you have a good hand, so you have to reveal your cards right from the start?"
He couldn't quite understand the thought process of these two. They liked to reason, but they were never in the right. They wanted to argue their point, but they couldn't bring themselves to back down.
"You, you, you..." Su Mo pointed at Xu Shuai, her face flushed red.
She wanted to speak out in condemnation, but upon reflection, she realized she was in the wrong, especially since Xu Shuai's sarcasm, though unspoken, was utterly scathing and made her blush with shame.
Yin Rui snapped out of her shame and looked at the futuristic flying house in the distance. Suddenly, a burning light flashed in her eyes—an intense longing.
She grabbed Su Mo's arm as she left, her face beaming with joy as she gazed at the flying house, her expression excited:
"Su Mo, are you being foolish? Don't let others lead you by the nose."
Yes, we are in the wrong, but does that mean they are without fault?
"If they hadn't concealed their weaknesses beforehand, we wouldn't have rashly agreed."
Su Mo remained unmoved after hearing these words. She snorted coldly, grabbed the arrow that had been shot into the wall, and pulled it out forcefully.
The arrow remained motionless. She kicked her foot against the wall, straining with all her might, causing the veins on her neck and arms to bulge.
Taking advantage of the brief moment, Yin Rui quickly reached out and grasped Su Mo's hand.
While helping to retrieve the arrows, she whispered in Su Mo's ear, "Su Mo, you have a weapon, so we have the advantage."
The two of them worked together to pull out the arrow. Su Mo stared at the arrowhead, which was intact and still usable, paused for a moment, and then said in a displeased tone:
"What, what are you trying to do now? Haven't you lost face enough already?"
After saying that, Su Mo was somewhat angry, but she wasn't blaming Yin Rui.
In truth, her current leisurely state is entirely thanks to Yin Rui's help.
Yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, Yin Rui managed to take her out of the campus before the city was placed under martial law, and told her a shocking piece of news.
At first, Su Mo didn't believe it, but a piece of information that Yin Rui casually pointed out revealed her secret of being a single rich girl that she had kept hidden for many years.
Only then, half-believing and half-doubting, did he bring Yin Rui to this place.
They happened to run into a group of wealthy people who were fleeing the country with their families.
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, she wanted to step forward and ask questions, but the anxious crowd didn't give her a chance to speak.
On the contrary, it was through conversation with the three box trucks traveling in the opposite direction that we learned that the owner was a wealthy household who had spent a lot of money to buy a large amount of medicine and food.
After learning the villa's address, it wasn't until the early hours of the morning, when a bombshell text message brought Su Mo back to her senses from her utter shock.
After falling asleep with unease, the next morning, under Yin Rui's embrace, the two took full precautions before scavenging for supplies, until they encountered Xu Shuai and his group.
After pondering for a moment, Su Mo looked at Yin Rui, whose eyes were darting around as if she were plotting something big, and her tone softened as she comforted her, "Never mind, Yin Rui, let's go."
The supplies you asked me to buy yesterday are enough to keep us safe for a month. We'll receive aid in two weeks. It's just some medicine; there's no need to go to unnecessary trouble.
Su Mo has excellent eyesight; being an avid archer, she keenly observed the two cars parked in the yard.
The car was covered in blood, and there were fragments of sticks scattered on the ground, clearly indicating that a chaotic battle had taken place there.
In fact, these two were among the participants in the brawl.
Yin Ruixiu frowned slightly: "Su Mo, listen to me. Your archery skills are so good, and you have a composite bow, which gives you a long-range advantage. You can completely use force to threaten them into handing over that mysterious flying house."
Su Mo's eyes widened in shock; she never expected Yin Rui to have such a thought.
Yin Rui watched the three people continuing to move supplies, her eyes narrowing into slits, and lowered her voice: "Do you really think that in half a month, the world will return to order and we'll be able to receive the so-called rescue?"
Su Mo's expression was solemn, and her eyes flickered.
"Su Mo, now that things have come to this, I won't hide anything anymore. To tell you the truth, I am actually a reborn person."
